Abstract

At an early age, children experience the golden years, which is a time when children begin to be sensitive to external stimuli, namely in the teaching and learning process at this time teachers still use teacher centers and make children less active. Children tend to be quiet and sit at their own desks, causing learning to become less impressive and feel bored. Therefore, teachers must be able to use creative and innovative learning strategies, one of which is using appropriate learning media to improve students' ability to recognize geometric shapes through the media of a rotating wheel board. The aims of this research are: (1) Improve the ability to recognize simple geometric shapes through the rotating wheel board game media for PPT Al-Wardah Pakal children, (2) Describe the process of applying the rotating wheel board media for children. The research method uses the class action research method or Class Action Research, this research is in the form of a cycle which includes the stages of planning, action, observation and reflection. The results of this research show that the ability to recognize geometric shapes in children aged 3-4 years in Pre-Cycle reached 23.33%, Cycle I reached 66.67% and Cycle II reached 83.33%. From this description, it can be seen that there was an increase in the ability to recognize geometric shapes from Pre-Cycle to Cycle I by 13.34% and from Cycle I to Cycle II by 30% in children aged 3-4 years at PPT Al-Wardah Surabaya.
